Here in the blog, you’ll find messages from my heart. Each time I sit down to write, my intention is to write something that someone else needs to hear and something my heart needs to say. I want to write something that will plant a seed and could potentially change the trajectory of someone’s life. It might not be yours today, but it may be tomorrow, so enjoy your time and come back soon.

When you feel “meh” about someone else’s success
Do you know that feeling when you watch someone make a run and you don't really feel like celebrating for them? Like you don't feel anything bad towards them, but you just kind of feel "meh" - that was nice for them. Then do you kind of feel like a bad...
Should I Enter The Barrel Racing Or Not?
I had another great question submitted from a follower. An entry deadline is fast approaching and she's not sure if she should enter or not. She's wondering where her reservations are coming from. Is it because she doesn't feel ready or fast enough? ...

Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway
I went live on Facebook to talk about fear and how we should get used to the discomfort it brings and just power through it. I'm not specifically talking about the fear of when we're in actual danger. I'm talking about those times where we really don't...
When perfect doesn’t pay

How To Deal With Mean Girls
We've all dealt with them and if we're being really honest, we've probably been a "mean girl" at some point too. Ouch. Yeah, you. Mean girls are the girls that talk behind our backs, say negative things about us (and maybe even our horse). They criticize and they make...
My bad experience with a great book
They say you get more of what you focus on. This summer I was reading the book Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. It's a really good book but I had to stow it away 3/4's read. The book and I, we're on a breather and I'm not sure when I'll be "brave enough" to pick it up...
